Why are the water tanks elevated?
So you can use gravity rather then a pump to get water out of them.
How is rain water collected?
rain water collected from roofs of houses,making tanks,etc.
What is effect of underground storage leakage?
Underground leakage from storage tanks can cause a major threat to our health. Gas stations have underground tanks that hold toxic waste such as gasoline that contain benzene and toluene. These chemicals can cause cancer and affect growing children if they leak into our drinking water. There are underground cleanups but these chemicals quickly through the soil going into the ground water. One gallon of petroleum can contaminate one million gallons of water. One pin prick sized leakage in a tank can leak 400 gallons of fuel in a year and more than one million people drink ground water where delayed clean ups threaten the water quality. There is no safe level of exposure to these toxins that don't cause harm. USTs (underground storage tanks) are one of the most serious threats to our country's water supply. Most tanks were made out of weak steel that rust after 10 years. The most common places that have USTs are gas stations, dry cleaners, service stations, airport and truck refueling stations, and homes. The tanks can also give off gases in homes, contaminate recreational water bodies, and can decrease property values. The leakage of flammable products can cause fires and possible explosions.
What does a hydroelectric power station need to function?
In order for a hydroelectic power station to function, the station will need a large supply of water. The station will also require large generators with turbines in order to create power from the pressure of the water.
Can limit state method be used for design of water tanks?
Yes we can use limit state design for water tank design....
Should you refill your car with gas when the station tanks are being refilled?
no!!
What facilities does a gas fired power station require that a wood fired power station does not?
A secure pipeline or secure storage tanks to hold the gas.
What happens when the station pumps are low on gas?
They have underground tanks refilled regularly bu tankers.
Why does Volvo 240 dl staul time to time on less than half a tank?
sometimes after heavy rain, a gas station might have rain water leak into it's gas storage tanks, water in a cars gas tank will cause it to stall. Maybe change the place you get your gas.
How deep are gas tanks underground at gas stations?

Where are spent fuel rods stored?
In water filled tanks on the power station site
Will gas hot water heaters work without electricity?

What is the pump in the bed of some pickup trucks The hose looks similar to a gas station pump?
Some trucks are used to refuel equipment in the field where there is no refueling station. They have tanks in the back with a 12 volt pump. It is similar to a gas station hose.
Do gas stations affect the soil around it?
A gas station does not generally affect the soil around it. The tanks and surfaces are designed to be highly leak resistant which helps to maintain safe soil around them.
How does a CO2 fill station work?
A fill station is a bulk CO2 tank, a fill hose and a scale. They are used by trained air smiths and paintball field employees to refill empty Co2 tanks. First the tanks are purged of all remaining Co2, then carefully refilled and weighed. If you are not trained on how to do this, do not attempt, at the risk of breaking the tanks burst disk or damage to you by the extremely cold gas.
What could be the source of fuel system rust on a 99 Cherokee sport?
If the fuel tank is plastic, the rust most likely came from a gas station's tanks.
In what three ways can water be stored?
Water can be stored easily as a liquid in tanks or sponges, as a solid (ice) wherever it can be piled or as a hydrate - with the water molecules bonded to other non-water molecules. Hydrates are usually powders. Water may also be absorbed into the interstices of porous materials or in tanks as a gas - although it would have to be at fairly low pressure to remain a gas.
